Hi, Daraghmq,
 
We can!  I am not sure anyone in govt. will pay attention to us yet (we may have alot more joining in the cause after more start reacting to the digital signals tho!)  The current govt is more interested helping corporations get rich than being concerned for the welfare of it's citizenry, IMHO.  Otherwise, we would not likely have had the total shift from analog to digital in the first place.  These guys believe in changing now, cleaning up the consequences later.

For Esens people who can watch a bit of TV on analog signal but who
can't tolerate the digital signal I think that it is unfair for them
[plus a lot of others who can't afford to make the switch] that the
govt is planning to switch off the analog signal - can we campaign
against this?

me personally, I see a diffference between analog and digital
signals.  This comes into play particularly with the tv sets
now.  I see a difference with "high definition" tv
programs  playing on my analog tv too.  I think
what the govt is trying to do is phase out analog
transmittions altogether.& nbsp; I now have an analog cordless phone--
it doesn't bother me at all.  But I cannot go near my brother's
digital  phone in his home.  Same with tv, my analog set
usually doesn't bother me, except when you go into the settings and
get the"blue screen".  However,  when a high def tv program
comes on, I get headaches and dizzy.  (Followed by turning it
off.)

that will work either.  (Since I can still react to hi def
programs with it set to analog.)

things you can live without.  But do not assume a corded item is
better, because you may be like me and react to digital
frequencies.   You may need to experiment some with the
electronics of friends to see what you can tolerate best.  But
know that that can also change.  There are things I once
tolerated well that have now become less tolerable.

areas of the country.  That is true.  I live in a rural
area and it can be bad in much of the mountainous areas.  But
since you are house hunting....& nbsp; If you can, try out either the
highest points in your area, where no other mtn ranges are even
close.  (They position most towers on mtn ranges and position
them so the frequencies are somewhat pointed down, rather than out--
at least that is my experience here.  So on mountains some ways
away from towers can be quite peaceful, es-wise.)  OR, if you
can find valleys where there are twists and turns in the topography--
no long straight valley where a tower at either end would affect you--
that can also sometimes work well as long as there are no towers
above.  In a city setting, many buildings can also be shielding,
but then you have to be concerned about what electronics the
occupants are using.
